Re: Eagerly awaiting info on the new Felder FW 850...
Well glad my suspicions on the air bladder on a low end machine were correct. The rounding over of the edges comment reminded me that it is an anti dubbing feature that you need in a sander with an

Re: I¡¯m on the fence, about choosing a parallel fence.
Hi Wade, When I purchased my KF700SP in 2018, I looked at the Felder version of the parallel fence and determined it is too delicate for my taste. I was afraid I would hit the tail of the guide or

Re: Eagerly awaiting info on the new Felder FW 850...
You are correct in your observation Mark and I agree with you fully. I had a chance to put my hand on a proper Felder sander (model 1102?) and even that I was not impressed... I think the target
